Video: Animation of the MirrorSAR Concept
Multistatic SAR system consisting of a main satellite illuminating the scene and three receive-only companions based on the patented MirrorSAR concept.
The radar instruments of the receiving satellites are simplified into a kind of microwave mirror, that merely forwards the received signal to the transmitting satellite. This avoids the complex and expensive hardware, enabling low-cost implementation using NewSpace platforms.
